Edit - This is a conspiracy theory but it doesn’t mean it’s totally crazy - there is a good chance this “dead” CEO is still alive. Very shortly before his death he got his affairs in order and flew to India. Then it’s reported he died along with a death certificate from India. Now they can’t find $200mil in crypto and are not reporting the cold storage addresses. Would not surprise me if there has been massive fraud…

Kudos. It's harder to lose $100m these days as when Bitcoin was at peak price.

I am from India and trust me, finding a public toilet is more difficult than faking a death certificate

It’s easy I agree but not that easy. When my grand mother passed away at home in India we took her to the hospital and they said she was brought dead and they cannot issue a death certificate. Then we had to find some doctor in the neighborhood who was willing to issue one. Now he only agreed to issue after making sure that he she was actually dead. I suspect getting a fake death certificate would not not be this easy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's the joke: it's super easy to fake a death certificate in India.

In a country of over a billion people, I imagine that finding a public toilet is not that easy.

You imagine and I've experienced it. Wonder who has a better idea...
